Current jumbo cash-out guidelines, updated from one source.
The block below carries the cash-out lanes’ parameters as Lendmire’s guideline source holds them, rewritten on this page whenever the wholesale sheets change: the largest cash-out loan any lane allows, the top leverage, the credit floor, and the ratio ceiling, with the lane table beneath showing each lane’s structure, loan amounts by occupancy, occupancies open to a cash-out, and cash-in-hand cap.
From one dollar over the conforming limit on most lanes (a stated dollar floor on two lanes) to $5,000,000 on a principal residence; lower caps by lane and occupancy
The loan runs from one dollar over the county limit to $5,000,000 at the top, with lane-by-lane maximums below that and occupancy caps on several lanes. The cash in hand is capped on two lanes, at $300,000 or $500,000 with reduced leverage on the top fixed lane and at $250,000 to $500,000 by loan size on the expanded adjustable lane.
Loan-to-value on the top cash-out lane; 80% on four of the eight lanes
90% on one lane, 89.99% on three lanes (two of them as combined loan-to-value), and 80% on the other four (one of them as combined loan-to-value): leverage is the first thing that separates the cash-out lanes. Nothing on this page says whether mortgage insurance applies at a given leverage; the loan officer confirms the structure on the lane chosen before the terms are put in writing.
Lanes open at the floor and step up by leverage, structure, and amount
A 660 decision score opens four lanes; the rest want more, and the lane table shows each floor beside its leverage and amounts. Credit on a jumbo cash-out is read with the automated finding on the lanes that use one, and with the reserves, the ratios, and the appraisals that decide the rest of the file.
On six of the eight cash-out lanes; lower on the other two
A ceiling of 50% on the most generous lanes, lower on two. Because a cash-out raises the balance and usually the payment, the ratio is tested on the new loan, not the old one, and a file near the ceiling is often fixed by taking less cash, choosing a longer term, or paying off debts with the proceeds.
| Lane | Structure | Credit | Max DTI | Max leverage | Cash-out loan amounts | Occupancies on a cash-out | Cash in hand |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lane A | 30-year fixed, 40-year fixed, 40-year fixed with 10-year interest-only | 700+ | 50% | 89.99% CLTV | above the conforming limit to $5M (second homes to $3M) | primary and second | $300,000, or $500,000 with the leverage reduced by 10 points |
| Lane B | 30-year fixed | 660+ | 50% | 89.99% CLTV | above the conforming limit to $3M (investment to $1.5M) | primary, second, investment | No separate cap; the leverage and the loan maximum govern |

| Lane | Reserves on a cash-out | Two appraisals | Non-warrantable condos | Underwriting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lane A | 9 months minimum | above $2M | No | DU only; the 40-year fixed is a manual underwrite |
| Lane B | Primary to $2M 6–12, second to $2M 9–12, investment to $1.5M 12 months | above $1.5M | Yes | DU or LPA |
| Lane C | Primary to $2M 6–9, second to $2M 6 months | above $2M | No | DU or LPA |

| Lane G | Per the automated finding; over $2M: 18 months in addition | one appraisal for purchases to $3M and refinances to $2M; two for refinances over $2M | No | no appraisal waivers |
| Lane I | Primary to $1.5M 12 (cash to $250,000), $1.5M–$2M 15 (cash to $500,000); second home cash-out 12–18 months | above $1.5M | No | no appraisal waivers |
The line-of-credit alternative: Lendmire’s HELOC program lends to 90% combined loan-to-value on a primary residence while the existing first mortgage stays in place, sized by the line program’s own ceilings; a conventional cash-out applies at or below the conforming limit. Each is compared on the same numbers before a recommendation.
Current jumbo cash-out snapshot · updated October 1, 2026 · on most lanes a jumbo cash-out begins one dollar above the conforming limit for the county, which the FHFA resets each year and a Lendmire loan officer confirms; two lanes start at a stated dollar floor instead, and one lane carries a conforming amount on a cash-out at or below eighty percent of value with six months of seasoning · the headline figures are the best cell across lanes; no single lane carries all of them · taking cash out raises the balance and may extend the payoff · Lendmire is a broker, never the lender.
This page describes a loan program, not an offer. The figures in the snapshot are wholesale jumbo lane parameters for a cash-out refinance as of the date shown, subject to the lender’s guidelines at lock, the automated finding where applicable, the appraisal or appraisals, and full underwriting; they are limits, not promises, and no single lane carries every headline figure. The calculator is an illustration built on the weekly Freddie Mac conforming benchmark via FRED, which is not a jumbo rate. Lendmire LLC (NMLS #2371349) is a mortgage broker licensed in sixteen states for consumer mortgages and is never the lender; nothing on this page is legal or tax advice.
What a jumbo cash-out refinance is — and how the file is qualified.
Think of the file as a loan and a lane. The loan is the arithmetic of value, balance, and cash wanted; the lane is the set of rules the wholesale sheet attaches to that arithmetic, from the credit floor to the cash cap. The cards below separate the two so an Everett owner can see where a scenario lands before the paperwork begins.
For the program overview, see Lendmire’s jumbo cash-out refinance program, or the statewide guide at Jumbo Cash-Out Refinance in Washington; for the conforming limit by county, see the FHFA.
One new jumbo loan, cash at closing
The sequence is value, leverage, payoff, cash. The appraisal sets the value, the lane sets how much of it may be borrowed, the existing liens and the costs come out of the new loan, and the owner receives the remainder. Because the loan exceeds the conforming limit, it is placed on a wholesale jumbo lane rather than with the agencies, and the lane’s rules govern the file.
Which lane carries the file
Think of the lane table as a set of doors, each with its own key. An Everett file that clears a lane’s credit floor, sits inside its leverage, fits its loan maximum for the occupancy, and respects its cash cap can go through that door; when more than one door opens, the loan officer compares the terms. The calculator on this page runs that test on the numbers entered.
Reserves, and one appraisal or two
The reserve months and the appraisal count both turn on the amount. A cash-out that stays under a lane’s thresholds carries the base reserves and one appraisal; one that crosses them adds months and a second appraiser. The calculator shows where an Everett scenario lands on both, and the loan officer verifies the accounts and orders the reports before anything is locked.
Jumbo cash-out or the alternatives
Jumbo cash-out, a line of credit, or a conforming cash-out: the right one depends on the current loan, the amount wanted, and the term the owner prefers. The cash-out produces one fixed or adjustable loan; the line produces a second, variable payment behind an untouched first; the conforming route applies only under the limit. Lendmire arranges all three, so the recommendation follows the arithmetic.
The arithmetic is the lane’s arithmetic. The appraised value times the lane’s leverage gives the ceiling on the loan; the lane’s loan maximum for the occupancy caps it; the liens paid off come out first; and what is left is cash, less closing costs. On the two lanes with a cash cap, the cap applies after all of that, which is why the same Everett home can yield different cash on different lanes.
Where Everett’s larger homes sit — and how a jumbo cash-out fits.
Values in Everett set the stage for a jumbo cash-out, and the top of the market is where the loans above the conforming limit are written. The figures below give the backdrop, from the owner-household count to the median value; the file itself is sized on the appraisal of the home being refinanced and the lane that carries it.
Citywide figures provide general market context, not an appraisal or an income calculation. Read these as backdrop. The owner-household count and the median value describe the market; the appraisal of an Everett home, the balance on it, and the lane’s leverage and maximum describe the jumbo cash-out, and the loan officer works from the latter.
Data sources: U.S. Census Bureau — ACS 5-Year (2024) housing and population estimates, including tenure, home values, gross rents, and household income.
Distinct Everett neighborhoods, distinct jumbo files.
Everett’s submarkets differ in the size and age of their homes, in how much of the stock is attached, and in how far values run past the conforming limit, and a jumbo cash-out file reads a little differently in each. The cards below take the kinds of homes Everett holds and note what a lane looks for in each.
Townhomes and attached homes in planned communities
A townhome cash-out in Everett is usually a straightforward jumbo file: comparable sales close by, an association with a budget, and a deed that settles whether the project review applies. The lane’s leverage, its loan maximum, and the cash cap on two lanes govern the loan as they would on any home, and the association’s questionnaire is ordered where the form of title requires it. Everett is home to about 112K people and sits within the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA area.
Recently purchased and newly built homes
A new build or a recent purchase in Everett raises two questions: whether the lane’s seasoning rule is met, and whether the appraised value has moved since the sale. One lane allows a conforming amount on a cash-out at or below eighty percent of value with six months of seasoning; the loan officer reads the seasoning rule of the lane in question. The loan officer settles the seasoning question before the appraisal is ordered; the appraisal answers the question of value. Median household income in Everett sits near $83,512 on the latest Census estimate.
Owner-occupied two- to four-unit buildings
An owner-occupied multi-unit building above the conforming limit is a specialized jumbo file: the appraisal carries an income approach, the leases document the rent, and the lane must accept the unit count. The leverage is the lane’s principal-residence figure, the cash cap applies where the lane states one, and reserves run on the full payment of the whole building. The median owner-occupied home value in Everett runs near $565,300 on the latest Census estimate.
Homes held in trusts and entities
Larger Everett homes are often held in a living trust, and some in an entity, and a jumbo cash-out reads the vesting early: a revocable trust with the owner as trustee is accepted on the lanes with the trust documents in the file, while an entity on title is reviewed for the lane’s acceptance and may need to be deeded to the owner before closing. Roughly 21,855 Everett households own their homes on the latest Census estimate — 49% of all households, the pool a jumbo cash-out refinance draws on.
Close-in homes with decades of equity
The older neighborhoods near Everett’s center hold homes whose values have run far past the balances on them, and a jumbo cash-out turns that gap into cash in one loan. The appraisal is the whole question on these files: comparable sales on streets where little trades, and two appraisers above the lane’s threshold when the amount calls for it. On a home in Everett priced well above the $565,300 median, a jumbo cash-out at a lane’s leverage is sized on the appraised value — the existing balance comes off the top, the lane’s cash cap applies where it states one, and the rest is the cash available before closing costs.
Luxury condominiums and the project review
For an Everett condominium the project is underwritten alongside the owner. Dues enter the ratio and the reserve count, the management company’s questionnaire is the first document ordered, and a building with investor-heavy ownership or a pending lawsuit narrows the lanes to the two that take non-warrantable projects, each with its own leverage and maximum. About 51% of Everett’s households rent — roughly 22,792 renter households on the latest Census estimate.
None of the above replaces an appraisal or a lane review. The Everett market tells a loan officer what to expect; the appraisal, the lane sheet, and the file tell the lender what to write.
Where Everett owners put jumbo equity to work.
Cash from a jumbo refinance is what remains after the existing liens and costs are paid, within the lane cash caps, and Everett owners use it in a handful of recurring ways. The cards below cover the common ones, with the rules that bear on each, from occupancy to business purpose.
Renovate a larger home without a construction loan
Improvement is the use where the home’s value and the loan’s value meet. The cash-out is sized on the current appraisal, so a renovation that adds value is financed on today’s number and enjoyed on tomorrow’s. On the two lanes with a cash cap the project budget has to fit the cap; on the others the lane’s leverage and loan maximum set the ceiling.
Education, family, and one-time obligations
Large family obligations are a common reason an Everett owner taps equity above the conforming limit. The cash-out delivers one lump sum at closing on the lane’s terms; the ratio on the new payment and the reserves after closing are the two tests the file must pass, and the loan officer runs both before the appraisal is ordered.
Capital for a business or a practice
A business owner in Everett with a large home and a growing company often finds the equity cheaper to reach than a commercial line. A jumbo cash-out on the residence is still a consumer loan: the proceeds may go to the business, the qualification is the owner’s personal income and reserves, and self-employed income is documented with two years of returns as the lanes require.
Liquidity and a reserve against opportunity
Some Everett owners refinance above the limit simply to hold cash: a reserve against an opportunity, a cushion for a business cycle, or a balance kept liquid rather than locked in a house. The lane does not ask why; it asks that the loan sit inside its leverage and maximum, that the cash respect any cap, and that the reserves after closing meet the lane’s months.
Estimate the cash, the lane, and the new payment on an Everett home before requesting a quote.
Three fields decide most of the result, value, balance, and cash wanted; occupancy and structure decide which lanes are open. The calculator tests the scenario against each lane’s leverage, loan maximum, and cash cap, names the lanes that fit, and shows the payment, the ratio against the lane ceiling, and the line-of-credit alternative on the same numbers.

Illustrative starting assumptions: a $2,000,000 home value in the jumbo range for Everett, well above the median, a $1,000,000 current balance, a principal residence on a thirty-year fixed structure at the current Freddie Mac conforming benchmark, property taxes and insurance estimated for Washington (U.S. Census Bureau). Every field is editable.
Illustrative estimate only — not a Loan Estimate, approval, quote, or commitment to lend. The rate field carries the weekly Freddie Mac thirty-year conforming benchmark, a market reference and not a jumbo cash-out refinance quote; a jumbo loan is priced by the lender at lock. The lanes shown are the wholesale cash-out lanes behind this page as of the snapshot date; the calculator reads each lane’s leverage, loan maximum by occupancy, cash-in-hand cap, and reserves as the lane table states them, and a Lendmire loan officer confirms the lane on the file. The cash available is the loan the lane allows less the balances paid off, before closing costs, which are not included; on most lanes a jumbo cash-out begins one dollar above the conforming limit for the county, and two lanes start at a stated dollar floor instead. The HELOC line is the line program’s combined loan-to-value ceiling applied to the same value and balance. Taxes and insurance are editable estimates. Licensed in sixteen states for consumer mortgages.
Same equity, three ways to borrow it.
Three products, one question: how should an Everett, WA owner borrow against a home whose value sits above the conforming limit? The cards below answer with the jumbo cash-out, the conventional cash-out, and the line of credit, and the fourth card says where each one fits.
Jumbo cash-out, a conforming cash-out, or a HELOC behind the first.
The jumbo cash-out rewrites the first mortgage at a larger amount and hands the owner the difference. One payment, one structure, one set of lane rules: leverage on the appraised value, a loan maximum by occupancy, a cash cap on two lanes, reserves in months of the new payment, and two appraisals above the lane’s threshold. It suits an owner whose current loan is not worth keeping.
When the new loan would sit at or below the conforming limit for the county, the conventional cash-out program applies instead: agency rules, a single appraisal in most files, and a leverage ceiling of its own. It is the route for an Everett owner whose balance plus cash lands under the limit, and one jumbo lane also carries a conforming amount on a cash-out at modest leverage with seasoning. See Lendmire’s cash-out refinance program.
The line is the alternative that keeps a good first mortgage in place. It carries a variable payment behind the first, charges interest only on what is drawn, and is sized by the line program’s combined leverage and its line maximum. For an Everett owner with a low-rate jumbo first mortgage, the line often reaches the equity at lower overall cost than rewriting the first. See Lendmire’s home equity line of credit.
The decision turns on three questions: is the current first mortgage worth keeping, does the new loan exceed the conforming limit, and does the owner want a lump sum or a line to draw on. The answers point to one of the three routes, and an Everett loan officer puts the terms of each in writing on the same value and balance. For a purchase or a rate-and-term refinance above the limit, see the jumbo loan program.
What to prepare for an Everett scenario review.
The lanes read the whole picture, from the returns to the brokerage statements to the mortgage statement on every lien being paid. Collect the items below before the review and the lane choice, the reserve count, and the appraisal order can all happen at once.
This is a general preparation guide, not a universal checklist. The selected lender may request additional information based on the transaction, the property, the lane, the automated finding, and the income picture. Nothing here is legal or tax advice.
Local details that can change the loan.
A jumbo cash-out rarely fails on the headline figures; it moves on the details. The cash cap on two lanes, the second appraisal above a threshold, the reserve months, the project review on a condominium, and the occupancy caps for a second home or a rental each shift the loan an Everett owner can have, and the points below take them one at a time.
Use these checks to keep the Everett file clean and fundable.
The scenario review opens on three questions, each answered from the lane sheet: how much cash the lane allows on this value and balance, whether two appraisers are needed at this amount, and whether the accounts after closing cover the lane’s reserve months.
- Confirm the cash cap: On the top fixed lane the cap rises when the leverage falls; on the expanded adjustable lane it steps up with the loan amount.
- Check the appraisal count: Above the lane threshold the file needs two appraisals from two different appraisers.
- Count the reserves: The months rise with the amount on most lanes; the top fixed lane states a minimum on any cash-out.
Two lanes cap the cash itself, not just the leverage
On most cash-out lanes the leverage and the loan maximum are the only limits on the cash, but two lanes also cap the cash in hand: the top fixed lane at a stated figure, or a higher figure when the leverage is cut by ten points, and the expanded adjustable lane at two figures by loan size. An Everett owner who needs more than the cap moves to another lane or pairs the cash-out with a line behind it.
Above the lane threshold, two appraisals from two appraisers
Most cash-out lanes name an amount above which the file needs two appraisals, prepared by two different appraisers, and one lane names no such threshold. The thresholds differ by lane, two lanes set theirs lower than the rest, and the adjustable lanes count refinances differently from purchases. An Everett cash-out near a threshold is sometimes sized just under it.
Reserves are counted in months of the new payment, and they grow with the amount
After closing, the lane wants verified funds equal to a number of months of the new full housing payment: taxes, insurance, and dues included. On several lanes the automated finding sets the base and the sheet adds months above stated amounts; the top fixed lane states a minimum on any cash-out; the expanded adjustable lane wants a year or more. The cash taken may count toward reserves where the lane allows.
On a principal residence the cash arrives after the rescission period
A refinance of a principal dwelling carries a right of rescission under federal law: after signing, the owner has a short window to cancel, and the loan does not fund until it has passed. The settlement agent then pays the existing liens and disburses the cash. An Everett owner planning to use the proceeds on a date should count the window in, and the loan officer confirms the schedule at closing.
A condominium brings the project review before the appraisal is ordered
For a condominium the lane’s answer depends on the association as much as the owner. Dues enter the ratio and the reserve calculation, the project’s insurance and budget are reviewed, and a project with a special assessment or a lawsuit may narrow the lanes to the two that take non-warrantable buildings. Lendmire runs the project review before the appraisal is ordered on an Everett unit.
From an Everett scenario review to cash at closing.
Four steps, in order. The scenario review is where the lane, the cash, and the alternatives are settled; the documentation step is where the file proves what the review assumed; the appraisal step sets the value and may need two reports; the closing retires the old liens and delivers the cash. The timeline follows the file, not a promise.
Scenario review
The review settles the shape of an Everett file: whether the current first mortgage is worth replacing, which lanes the leverage and the amount allow, whether the cash wanted clears the lane’s cap, how many months of reserves the accounts cover, and whether the amount triggers two appraisals. The owner leaves with written terms for the cash-out and the alternatives on the same numbers.
Documentation and the automated finding
The file proves the review: two years of income, every page of the asset statements, the mortgage statements on the liens being paid, the insurance and tax records, and the condominium questionnaire where there is one. On the lanes that use an automated finding, the finding is run and the reserves and the ratio are read with it; the loan officer resolves any condition before the appraisal is ordered.
Appraisal, or two, and the project review
Value is verified by an independent appraiser, or by two above the lane’s figure, and on a condominium the project is approved in parallel. The reports take their own time and the loan officer tracks them; when they arrive, the lane’s leverage is applied to the final value, the cash is confirmed or adjusted, and the file moves to closing with the numbers the owner will sign.
Closing, rescission, and funding
At closing the owner signs the new note and the mortgage or deed of trust and reviews the settlement statement that shows every payoff and the cash. On a principal residence the rescission period follows the signing; when it has passed, the loan funds, the settlement agent pays the existing liens, and the remaining cash is wired to the owner. The old payments stop and the new one begins on the schedule the closing sets.
A brokerage built around larger equity.
Three habits define how Lendmire handles a jumbo cash-out: every route reviewed at once, every lane read from the sheet, and every figure written down before an appraisal is ordered. The cards below describe each for an Everett owner.
Every route, one review
Because the jumbo cash-out, the conforming cash-out, and the home equity line are all arranged under one roof, the recommendation follows the arithmetic rather than the product a desk happens to sell. An Everett owner sees the cash-out payment, the current payment plus a line, and the conforming alternative where it applies, on one page, before deciding.
Every lane, read from the sheet
Lanes are not interchangeable: one of the two lanes that lend the most caps the cash, two of the four lanes with the lowest floor take non-warrantable condominiums, an adjustable lane lends the most on that structure and carries the largest rental cash-out as well. Reading them together is the work, and Lendmire does it on every file, with the snapshot on this page kept current from one guideline source.
Every figure, in writing first
Written terms before an appraisal is a rule, not a courtesy. The loan officer sets out the lane, the amount, the cash, the reserves, and the appraisal count on paper, with the alternatives priced beside them; if the appraisal later moves the value, the revised figures are written down the same way, and the owner decides again with the numbers in hand.

Everett jumbo cash-out refinance FAQs
The questions Everett owners ask most about a jumbo cash-out, answered from the lane sheets and the rules on this page: what the loan is, how much it reaches, where the cash is capped, what the lanes want in credit and reserves, and how it compares with a line of credit.
What is a jumbo cash-out refinance, and when do I need one?
A jumbo cash-out replaces the mortgage on a home with a bigger loan above the conforming limit and hands the owner the difference at closing, after the old loan, any second lien, and the closing costs are paid. It is the route when the new loan has to exceed the county’s limit, which the FHFA resets each year and a Lendmire loan officer confirms before the file is placed.
How much cash can a jumbo cash-out reach on an Everett home?
As much as the lane’s leverage on the appraised value allows after the existing liens are retired, up to the lane’s loan maximum and subject to a cash cap on two lanes. On most lanes the largest loans belong to a principal residence, and the fixed lanes carry the highest leverage; the adjustable lanes stop at eighty percent of value. The figures are in the snapshot and the lane table.
Why is the cash in hand capped on some lanes?
It is a lane rule, not a program rule. Six cash-out lanes let the leverage and the loan maximum set the cash; two, the top fixed lane and the expanded adjustable lane, add a cap on the money the owner receives. When the cash wanted exceeds the cap, the loan officer moves the file to a lane without one or pairs the cash-out with a line of credit behind it for the balance.
What credit score does a jumbo cash-out need?
The floor is in the snapshot; the lane table shows the rest. Four lanes accept the lowest score, one wants a score in the six-eighties, and the remaining three want seven-hundreds, each paired with its own leverage and maximum. Lendmire reads the report against every lane rather than one, so a file that misses one floor is placed on the lane it clears.
How many months of reserves does a jumbo cash-out require?
Reserves are months of the new full housing payment left in verified accounts after closing, and the lane table on this page shows each lane’s rule. On several lanes the automated finding sets the base and the sheet adds months above stated amounts; the top fixed lane states a minimum on any cash-out; the expanded adjustable lane wants a year or more by loan size. The months rise with the amount.
Should I use a jumbo cash-out or a line of credit behind my first mortgage?
Neither is better in the abstract. The line of credit preserves the first mortgage and lends behind it up to the line program’s ceiling, which may be lower than a lane’s leverage; the jumbo cash-out starts over at a larger amount with the lane’s rules on reserves, appraisals, and cash caps. The snapshot above shows the line program’s combined leverage, and the calculator shows the line beside the cash-out.
What does a jumbo cash-out cost to close?
Closing costs are itemized on the Loan Estimate and the Closing Disclosure, and they are paid from the proceeds at closing rather than out of pocket in most files. The appraisal, or two above the lane’s threshold, title and settlement services, recording, prepaid interest, and the escrow setup are the usual lines. An Everett owner sees them in writing before choosing to proceed.
Why does a jumbo cash-out sometimes need two appraisals?
Most lanes name an amount above which the loan needs two appraisals, prepared by two different appraisers, and one lane names none. Two lanes set the threshold lower than the rest, and the adjustable lanes count refinances differently from purchases. The rule protects the lender on large loans, and it means an Everett cash-out near a threshold is sometimes sized just under it.
What loan structures are available on a jumbo cash-out?
Fixed or adjustable, with the fixed lanes reaching the highest leverage and the largest amounts and the adjustable lanes trading leverage for a lower initial payment. Two lanes carry a forty-year amortization. The sheet’s interest-only lane is purchase and rate-and-term only, so it sits outside the cash-out table; an interest-only period on a cash-out comes with the forty-year structure on the two lanes that carry it, and an Everett loan officer confirms the lane at the review so the owner does not plan around a structure the lane does not carry.
What debt-to-income ratio does a jumbo cash-out allow?
The snapshot shows the highest ceiling, and two lanes stop under it. The ratio counts the new jumbo payment with taxes, insurance, and association dues, plus every other monthly debt, against gross monthly income; an Everett owner consolidating debts through the closing usually sees the ratio fall because the paid-off accounts leave the calculation.
An Everett jumbo cash-out sized to the value, the balance, and the lane.
The scenario review is free of obligation and ends with terms on paper: the lane, the loan amount, the cash after payoffs and costs, the reserves the lane wants, whether two appraisals are needed, and the payment. Compare it with a line of credit behind the first mortgage and with a conforming cash-out where the amount allows, then decide with every route in view.
